THSD7B

Overview

THSD7B (Thrombospondin Type 1 Domain Containing 7B) encodes a protein with thrombospondin-type 1 repeat domains involved in angiogenesis regulation. In cancer genomics, it was identified as a novel somatically mutated gene in prostate cancer, not previously reported in this context.
